Local Senior Citizens

RCSI hosts an annual event for local senior citizens. The July 2017 event was attended by more than 350 senior citizens who visited RCSI for the chance to go back to the Irish showband era through the Ballroom of Romance. The event, now in its seventh year, is for senior citizens living in the catchment area of the College and sees active retirement and community groups from across the south east inner city come together for a night of music, memories and dancing.
